IAB Response to Robert Elz's Appeal on IPv6 Addressing Architecture Draft

The Internet Architecture Board (IAB) addressed Robert Elz's appeal regarding the document "IP Version 6 Addressing Architecture" (draft-ietf-ipngwg-addr-arch-v3-11.txt). The IAB clarified that the draft lacks sufficient clarity for publication as a Draft Standard, indicating the need for clearer implementation guidance to ensure interoperability. While not opposing its publication as a Proposed Standard, the IAB annulled the IESG's initial decision and issued recommendations for improving clarity. The IAB anticipates further discussions with the IESG and the IPv6 Working Group on these recommendations.

  1. IAB response to Robert Elz’ appeal • Document in question: • “IP Version 6 Addressing Architecture” -- draft-ietf-ipngwg-addr-arch-v3-11.txt • Appeal itself: • http://www.iab.org/Appeals/kre-ipng-address-arch-draft-standard.html • IAB response to the appeal: • http://www.iab.org/Appeals/kre-ipng-address-arch-draft-standard-response.html • Responses to the response – indicate that there was some confusion about what the IAB statement did/did not intend to convey

  2. What the IAB response *does* say • That this instance of the document is not clear enough to be published as a Draft Standard • clarity is needed in order to ensure that implementations developed from the spec will be interoperable

  3. What the IAB response does NOT do • The IAB response does not say that this document should not be published • The IAB response does not say that this document should not be published as Proposed Standard • In fact, the IAB response recommends publishing it as such • The IAB response does not provide *directives* to the WG or the IESG; that’s not in the IAB’s mandate

  4. Substance, Documents and Time • The IAB is *not* challenging anything in the IPv6 addressing architecture in this response • The IAB annulled the IESG decision to move draft-ietf-ipngwg-addr-arch-v3-11.txt to DS • A future version of the document, going through normal IETF process: • may go to DS • the IAB response provides recommendations of things to consider in fixing the lack of clarity

  5. What the IAB anticipates • That the IESG & IPv6 WG will think about the recommendations for clarification and determine whether/how to produce a new version of the document • That the IAB can discuss to try to convey the meat of the recommendations, not get into challenge-response mode or tread into IESG space. • All further discussion – in the Working Group!
